And when i finally move there permanently i will never come back. Its just annoying because i want so badly to move right now and i have another 3 years of hard work ahead of me. It will be 2010 before i can move out there, and i just want to go now.

oh.. that...
well hm i can tell you one thing and it's that YOU CAN DEFINITELY DO IT. lot of english people live & work in the u.s. and americans tend to look up to them because somehow they are mesmerized by the accent. and i'm not just talking about infomercials.
i think with an english passport you can come for like 3 months without a visa, no? & go back & forth.
now let me tell you, if you get a student visa you are allowed 20 hours of work per week (i think that's what it was for me) and it helps a lot. i know you wanted to go to... evergreen college, right? and the financial issue etc? well if you're willing to get a job while you do that this will cover your expenses. (not your tuition of course).
i am sure if you really want to live here you can find a way. also if you come for grad school you can apply for an assistantship which pays for your tuition and a small stipend (wages of misery, truly), but can often work out.
hang in there, you're young, and time flies. but maybe use your spring break to look into transfering schools?
